APY Executive

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:25): Supplementary question: minister, it is obvious that this group is dysfunctional. Is your department doing anything to address the situation to ensure that the APY Executive is functioning effectively?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:26): I thank the honourable member for his question. Certainly, my department has support officers who are regularly on the APY lands assisting the APY administration with the carrying out of their functions. Again, I am happy to go not just to the APY itself, but also to those people in my department who assist APY, and bring back an answer for the honourable member.
